Manuel Akanji weighs up future as Galatasaray hit Manchester City’s £15m valuation of Treble winner

Manuel Akanji debates about his future after Galatasaray had hit the appreciation of the defender of Manchester City.

The Turkish champions want both Akanji and Stads goalkeeper Niererson Landen, while they also have a long -term interest in Ilkay Gundogan.

Galatasaray is willing to meet the £ 15 million needed to land Akanji, who is also interested in elsewhere prior to the transfer window that closes on 1 September.

The Switzerland International came to City from Borussia Dortmund three years ago to become £ 15 million and became an integral part of their triple success.

Pep Guardiola wants to crop the figures in his team this month and currently has nine defenders at his disposal.

Six of them can play centrally and immediately back Akanji's competition, Rico Lewis, will sign a new five -year contract after he has drawn interest from Nottingham Forest.

Akanji, 30, assesses his options and may determine the following steps. Both he and Gundogan were unused substitutes for the opening day victory at Wolves last weekend.

Guardiola claimed that the team that remained the current size will be unhealthy for teamoral in the coming months.

In the meantime, the exciting attacking midfielder Claudio Echeverri has joined Bayer Leverkusen on a seasonal loan.

Vitor Reis, Jack Grealish, James McATee and Maximo Perrone have all moved on loan or permanently.
